The St. Mary’s Altar Society is a service ministry open to women of all ages in the parish. Our mission is to show our love of God through service and community. We strive to strengthen the spiritual life of our members though promoting a loving and supportive environment that has outreach to the parishioners of St. Mary’s and others.
The ministries within our group include: Altar Care – maintains the cleanliness and dignity of the sanctuary. Funeral Receptions – provides a meal of support for family and friends of deceased members of our parish. Prayer Blankets – are handmade with love for the sick or as needed. Nursing Home Visits – offer personal interaction with those who are not surrounded by loved ones. Retired Priest Support – is given through prayer, personal visits and snacks. Works of Mercy – takes part in activities to serve parishioners who have physical and spiritual needs. Hospitality Team – prepares and serves food for our St. Marys community after masses on Sundays.
The members of the Altar Society gather on the second Tuesday of the month for fellowship and a meal. We hope that you will consider becoming a member and join us in supporting St. Mary’s.
